Oral Hygiene Packing Tips While Traveling

Posted April 28, 2016.

If you’re planning a trip but you’re not quite sure which oral hygiene products to pack, our Ohio Urgent Dental Care team is more than happy to help you! There are a few things you will need to have with you while you travel, and those things are:

Travel toothbrush: Travel toothbrushes are convenient because they are small, they don’t take up much room, and they are perfect for traveling. So, don’t forget to pack your travel toothbrush along with your toothbrush cover. Make sure the cover has ventilation characteristics so your brush can dry out after you use it.

Travel toothpaste: If you are traveling on a plane, it’s important to remember that you can’t take paste that weighs more than 3.4 ounces. If you do, it will be confiscated. So, remember to pack travel-sized toothpaste before you get on the plane.

Floss: Floss is a handy tool, especially when you get food stuck in your teeth. There’s nothing worse than having a food-filled smile when you take pictures, so feel free to floss after each meal and snack.

Mouthwash: Mouthwash is a beneficial liquid that will complete the smile-cleaning job and keep your breath fresh and pristine. However, you will only be able to take a rinse that weighs 3.4 ounces or less with you on the plane, so make sure you have travel-sized mouthwash with you.
